Old Emperor muttered to himself for a moment, and felt that Xiao Qingqian's words were not unreasonable.

"Also, royal father, this person must be good at disguising himself!"

After the reminder, Old Emperor calmed down instead.

Since this person had the guts to do it once or twice, he would certainly show himself again. By then, he would know exactly where the money had gone to.

"Niu Zhiqi has failed in his duty, I will remember your loyalty, and let you take credit for your crimes!"

Niu Zhiqi immediately crawled to the ground and shouted, "This subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace."

The Old Emperor warned Niu Zhiqi again. Niu Zhiqi nodded repeatedly to express his loyalty, "This official will not disappoint Your Majesty."

"Kneel." Old Emperor rubbed his forehead that was in pain, after Niu Zhiqi left, he fell down onto the Dragon Throne.

"Father, are you alright?" Xiao Qingqian asked worriedly.

Old Emperor waved his hand, "We are just tired."

"Father, if you don't ask Qing`er to enter the palace and help you and your Royal Grandmother have a good look."

Old Emperor shook his head, "We have to settle this matter as soon as possible."

This way, he could be at ease and hand the entire Northern Kingdom over to Xiao Qingqian.

The father and son looked at each other for a while, before Xiao Qingqian's eyes started to tear up.

The sky had already darkened, yet Xiao Qingqian still hadn't returned home for a long time.

The food on the table had heated up many times and had long since lost its flavor.

"Princess, why don't you eat a little?" Zhu Er saw that her face was gloomy, her eyebrows were knitted together, and worried.

Wei Qing took a deep breath, "Eat!"

Die'er and Zhu Er looked at each other; the two of them were a little worried for her.

Wei Qing said to the rest of them, "Sit down and eat, don't stand."

From the start, Mo Qi had always used the method of a secret guard to request himself. Zhu Er grew up in the Duke Palaces, so she was very well-behaved.

Wei Qing did not force them, and looked at Die'er, "Eat more."

Seeing her stuff her mouth with every mouthful, Die'er pressed her hand down, "Big sister, are you alright?"

Wei Qing chewed on it hard a few times, "Of course it's good!"

Die'er's eyes turned red. Why didn't she see that she was good?

"Elder sister, are you upset?"

Wei Qing swallowed it down, "Silly Die'er, I only have the strength to help Ah Qian after I've eaten my fill, don't worry too much!"

The treasury was barely able to absorb money smoothly. Those who could divert silver and silver from the treasury were certainly not simple people.

Xiao Qingqian was definitely very busy at the moment, if not, he would not have been late.

Only if she was well would she have the strength to help him!

Xiao Qingqian finally brought back a body full of fatigue. Just as he sat down, Wei Qing came in with a bowl of beef and egg noodles.

The green vegetables with beef and eggs looked delicious.

After being busy the entire day, Xiao Qingqian was indeed tired. When he picked up the chopsticks, he did not clean his hands and immediately started eating.

Wei Qing rested her chin on her hands and stared at Yun Che without blinking.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wei Qing poked Xiao Qingqian's cheeks: "Like a hamster!"

"Have you ever heard a word?"

"What?"

"If you want to marry a chicken, then marry a dog."

"Xiao Qingqian, I'm not a hamster."

Xiao Qingqian drank another mouthful of soup, "Help me analyze who this big rat is that emptied our treasury."

Wei Qing had thought about this question seriously before, but wanting to take such a large sum of money out of the national treasury was obviously a fantasy.

How on earth did he get it out?

"Anyone is possible, but I need a chance to lure a snake out of its hole."

Xiao Qingqian nodded, "What did you do after you returned today?"

"Do you know? dog general is very powerful now, I can even find it if I were to casually hide my own kernels. And there's the intelligent multi-star, it'll say a lot of things. "

"Is that so?" Xiao Qingqian was skeptical.

With such a large sum of money missing from the treasury, Wei Qing actually had the leisure to play with the dog general and teach Wisdom Star a lesson?

Being stared at by him, Wei Qing's eyes flickered.

In truth, all of these were merely fabricated by Wei Qing. The reason was so that Xiao Qingqian wouldn't worry.

"Qing`er, look into my eyes."

Wei Qing raised her eyes and slowly looked into his eyes that were as deep as ink.

"How do you know I made this up?" Wei Qing moved closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I understand you too well." He tapped her on the head with the other end of his chopsticks.

Wei Qing was extremely upset, "Can you stop knocking on my head? No wonder I'm getting more and more stupid, it's all because of you and that smelly old man! "

Xiao Qingqian could not help but smile, "Alright, I'm full."

Originally, if the matter of the treasury did not arise, she had planned to wait for him to finish this period of work and go with him to see how far Landlord Wang and the villagers have gone in repairing the water canals.

"Want a bath?" Wei Qing asked.

Xiao Qingqian frowned as he studied Wei Qing, "I've been too busy these past few days, and I'm afraid I can't accompany you properly."

Wei Qing knew that he had misunderstood, and unhappily rolled her eyes at him, "Don't let your thoughts go awry, what I mean is, you should soak in the bath for a good reason to dispel your exhaustion."

Xiao Qingqian choked on his saliva, "Alright."

Wei Qing rubbed his forehead, "Is it better?"

"Much better." Xiao Qingqian looked up at Wei Qing who was behind him, "After thinking about it, I still feel that the person who can do this kind of thing must be someone from the palace."

"You already have a suspect."

Xiao Qingqian reached out to pinch Wei Qing's crimson red face that was steamed up by the water vapor, "Those who know me, Wei Qing is also one of them."

"While royal father was unconscious, Xiao Hanqi did not make any unusual movements. Actually, the possibility of Long Xiaotian doing so is also very high."

"The two of them working together to empty the national treasury of the Northern Kingdom?" Xiao Qingqian felt that this was a little too crazy, "Don't involve Long Xiaotian in everything."

No matter how capable this person was, he might not be able to unwittingly empty the national treasury of the Northern Kingdom, right?

If he had the ability, then wouldn't the four kingdoms be his?

Wei Qing smiled at him, "We'll see when the time comes."

He believed that Xiao Qingqian and the Old Emperor must already have a plan to deal with them.

"Didn't you want to see what the aqueduct looks like?"

Wei Qing was slightly surprised, she never thought that Xiao Qingqian would actually still remember about this matter. A huge wave of warmth rose in her heart, quickly surging towards her four limbs and her hundred bones.

"Aren't you busy these days?"

"It's still possible to make time." He laughed.

Although it was just a single syllable, it allowed others to hear that she was in an extremely good mood.

Just as they reached the shore, the dark guard's report came in from the outside.

Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian looked at each other, and both of their hearts jumped at the same time.

"We found the tortoise so quickly?" Wei Qing was in disbelief.

Xiao Qingqian felt that it should not be that fast, and he locked his eyebrows, "Let's go out and see."
